Choose the right perspective
Match the person's company type to yours, since a building products distributor, a construction materials supplier and a manufacturer carry different inventory, freight and capital needs. Also weigh tenure, because a long-serving CFO and one who recently stepped into the role can speak to different stages of a finance function.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you manage inventory and working capital when housing starts and construction activity swing?
- 02How do you pass through commodity and freight cost changes to customers without losing volume?
- 03What finance processes did you need to integrate acquired branches or businesses in building materials?
